Uzbekistan
189,898 people lived in Ibrat in 2025. It is the 3164th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 18th largest in Uzbekistan.
Like every city on this site, Ibrat is counted as a built-up area seen from above rather than as a city government's territory. Why that changes the number.

How Ibrat grew
Count 10 people in Ibrat in 2000 and the same count gives 32.5 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 380,395 people in 2050. On the UN's projection it passes 250,000 people between 2030 and 2035. The UN first counts it as a city in 2000, when it passed 50,000 people.
projected (after 2025) · how sure the UN is: high moderate low
How to read this: one column every five years, 1975 to 2050; its height is the number of people. Hatched columns are the UN's projection. The thin strip beneath says how sure the UN is of each figure: the stronger the colour, the surer. A blank means the place was not on the UN's list of cities that year.

Where it is
How to read this: Ibrat is the dot in colour with a ring around it. The grey dots are the other cities of Uzbekistan in 2025, 76 in all, led by Tashkent, each drawn with an area that matches its people. Countries next door are outlines only.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Ibrat covered 73 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 18 km² of it. That is 92 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 10 by 10 metres. Since 2000, its built-up land has grown to 3.2 times its size, and its people are 3.3 times as many.
How to read this: pale is the whole of the city's land; the stronger square inside it is what is actually built on. The three are drawn to the same scale, so a larger square really is more land, and hatching means the year is the UN's projection rather than a count.
Of every 100 people in Uzbekistan
Its share of Uzbekistan
Of every 1,000 people in Uzbekistan in 2025, 5 lived in Ibrat, which is 189,898 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares stand for everyone in Uzbekistan, one square for every 1,000th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Ibrat's share; the grey remainder live somewhere else in the country.

In Uzbekistan, 2025
How to read this: the figure in front of a name is where that city stands among the 12,138 cities the UN counted in 2025, and each bar is its people, on one scale per list. Numbers are missing where a city has fewer than 300,000 people and so has no page of its own.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Ibrat are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 2000 to 2025, then projection to 2050. Projected years are drawn hatched, and the UN publishes no range of uncertainty for a city. What a city means here, how the UN measures one, and why that number can differ from the one Ibrat publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
